Tumbleweed Dealer ‘Dark Green’ (Self-Released)

Jonny B will admit that sometimes all it takes for him to spark an interest in a band is a name: if it’s something with a bit of humour or a play on words then he’s going to have to check them out. So when Tumbleweed Dealer dropped on his desk, JB knew he had to give it a listen, and boy was he met with an experience! With a band name like that releasing an album called ‘Dark Green’ it’s pretty obvious what the creative force behind them may be – and if it isn’t obvious to you then may you continue to live in innocence!

VIDEO OF THE WEEK – GUSH

We first came across this Belfast alt/post-grunge combo ten months ago – and lo, just #LikeThat, seemingly just a heartbeat and a hiccough after the subsequent release of their reflective debut EP, here we have brand new material from a band who are making themselves increasingly hard to ignore on the Northern Ireland scene.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – The Promised End

This Boston melodic hardcore quintet – featuring members of Landmines, The Effect and Choke Up – are definitely, and defiantly, casting #ALongShadow as they declare that they are “the malcontents of manufactured consent, in opposition, as one voice of dissent” on this stand alone offering released ahead of them heading back into the studio lay down their second album, the follow up to last year’s ‘For The Buried And The Broken’ debut.

Bristol punk rock ‘n’ rollers Split Dogs have one simple mission – they just want to show the world that rock ’n’ roll is alive and well. So far they’ve been doing a pretty fine job of that, spreading the word with extensive gigging across the ÜK and Europe. Now they’re set to release their incendiary new album which, simply put, is ‘Here To Destroy’.

The Über Rock Singles Club – February’s Femmes Fatales (Part Two)

Well, it’s Valentines weekend and we could think of no better occasion to share our love and appreciation of the many highly talented, individual and distinct female talents who bring light into the darkest recesses of the otherwise (sadly) male-dominated rock ‘n’ roll Überverse with the second in this special two-part feature which focuses on just a very small part of the massive contribution our femmes fatales make to the music that we all love…

Broncos/Bannered Mare/PTRNS – Belfast, The Union Bar – 8 February 2025

Life is full of new experiences and tonight was one of them, as Monk ventured into the glass-fronted glittery, shiny new Queen’s University Students’ Union building for the first time since it was rebuilt. Yet to visit the once hallowed halls of the basement Mandela Hall, his first trip took him to the second floor and the expansive new main bar, divided in two for this intimate co-headlining show, the final night of the punningly entitled ‘Stable Mates’ tour.

The Über Rock Singles Club Daily Pick – Mr Pink

This Belfast four piece, whom Monk first stumbled across during last year’s Bloodstock Metal 2 The Masses competition, in which he has to admit he regarded them as something of an incongruous wild card but somehow managed to deservedly fight their way through to the final, are taking us into the #Unknown with this, their fourth single, and second to win our prestigious #DailyPick award:
